Boiled Sweets

[crodonilson]

Since a special friend bought me a jar for Christmas I have become slightly obsessed with boiled sweets. So many wonderful varieties, but what is the choice of NSC as favourite??

Has to be Pear Drops

 

[Knightsworld]

Rhubarb and Custard have been my favourite ever since I was a kid.

If you don't vote Rhubarb & Custard you're WEIRD (or Pear Drops, they are good too)

 

[Worthingite]

Chocolate Limes for sure

special friend

Explain.

Lemon Sherbets. Mainly for the way they sometimes make you blink when you tap into the sherbet bit.

 

[Giraffe]

Rhubarb and custard but not had any of these for many years. They'll rot your teeth you know (he says having just got back from the dentist)

I am Diabetic ...........but Spangles old English were great

 

[Beach Hut]

Cherry Drops

 

[algie]

cough candies

Don't do it unless you want a head full of fillings. If you must eat 'candy' stick to the soft stuff like flumps, pink shrimps, chocolate and gummy bears, which are less bad for the teeth.

 

[Willy Dangle]

Hate aniseed twists.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Blackcurrant and Liquorice Humbugs, used to sell them in the sweet shop off Loder Road near Stringer, thems is tasty

 

[Willy Dangle]

Rainbow drops, they match my flag

I love Rhubarb and Custard. Where I work, the meeting rooms are always stocked with them, plus pear drops, lemon sherbets, toffees and eclairs. I arrange lots of meetings now. They used to have my very favourite - chocolate limes - but I haven't seen them for a few months now. Limes to win. The sherbets give me a slightly sore throat and tend to be the worst for irritating the roof of the mouth. Doesn't stop me though.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Can't eat any boiled sweets...cut the roof of my mouth to ribbons due to allergy grrrrrr

 

[vegster]

Lots of the choices above are exceptionally scrummy, however after a whittle down by discarding the real duffers ( Everton Mints, Barley Sugar and er Imperial Mints) of whats left it has to be Rhubarb and Custard !

I could do any of those. Not sure what strawberries & cream are, but I like the sound of them. I'm currently obsessed with strawberry Fruit-ellas
